Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

The person concerned should contact her local social welfare office as soon as her VTOS course ends in order to establish her entitlement to jobseeker's payments. She should contact the local DSP office administering supplementary welfare in relation to those entitlements.
